In addition to following the official negotiations, and briefing and supporting negotiators in advancing its key policy messages, IUCN’s engagement in Paris focused on generating increased awareness of its various climate-related work across different thematic areas, and particularly in advancing nature-based solutions to climate change.

To this end, IUCN hosted over 40 events in its dedicated Nature-based Solutions Pavilion in the official Conference Center and co-organised together with its French Members and partners 60+ events in the France-IUCN Partnership Pavilion in the Climate Generations Space.
